Big import news.

Japan reopens Air Small Packet starting Monday for the US, Canada, UK, Germany and France.

Still no word on SAL but that's probably the last thing to return.

What’s the pricing and speed on this? I started collecting after COVID started and have only ever used DHL.

It’s been so long I don’t even remember.

2-3 weeks for me in Canada typically, and it’s non-express mail so a good bit cheaper than DHL or EMS.

Yeah EMS went up so drat much I don't bother using it anymore. It'll be nice to have a cheaper option again.

Yeah I still like the warp speed delivery of DHL/FedEx, but I bet for big boxes of stuff this will be a godsend for pricing

Mine are en route from Nin-Nin-Game and I'm stoked.

Less stoked:


Received my trubbled bubble lmao, slipped the packaging out to find it a bust. First return through pulse, hopefully it will be smooth. That bubble won't be trubblin' anyone, and I wouldn't be upset if they called the tele-viper a wash. Guess we'll see.

If your a first timer return they may send you a new one without asking for that one.

Seems kinda random if they do or not, some people were abusing it for the stupidest things.

Hang onto the packaging. When I got a Cobra Stinger that was missing parts, they wanted a bunch of numbers off of the box. Then they sent me a replacement and didn't ask for me to return anything.

So you could come out nicely in the end with a bonus Televiper, if nothing else.

My nearest target had PP guards down to 18 bucks and the next closest we sold out but they were priced down to 12.

My lowlight shipped today just in time for me to figure out which Joe's are going on display. Since I was young I've had this problem with never wanting to take figures out of the box (the idea of their value was imparted on me at a young age) but I'm finally forcing myself to start doing it.

And boy howdy! I was so surprised at how pose able some of these guys are.

They won't be in scale, but we can have the Kirby fig fight Stan now. He can also punch Red Skull for good measure.


Also; got this Foot Enforcer from Best Buy. Not sure if it is an exclusive.

Oh yeah, I got as far as that reveal before immediately taking pictures and reassembling the box. Just waiting for CS to return my email.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

If they let you keep the broken one, take pictures of the damage, it might be fixable enough for display!

Pimp Daddy is a great figure, I'm dumbfounded that they made it and made it as early in the line as they did.


I'm gonna pick up that McFarlane Superman/Atomic Skull 2pack, anyone interested in the Superman? I already have plenty.

Yeah he rocks. Some people took issue with the figure, due to it's neckname of Pimp Daddy Destro. Some felt it unsuitable.

I feel those people are prudish.
